Karl,
no harm intended, but do yourself and us a favor and get something like
Essential Actionscript 3 from Moock, it will save you lots and lots of
unnecessary self inflicted punishment :).
That said, AS3 is much more about (strong) typing than AS2 was.
In that line of thinking, you need to specify exactly what types of
parameters go into a method/function and what it returns, even if that
"what" is nothing.
The type of "Nothing" is this respect is void.
//i return a number
function bla():Number {
return 10;
}
//i return nothing
function bla():void {
//im not giving you anything!
//....
//implicit return
}
//i return nothing as well
function bla():void {
//explicit return
if (myConditionNotMet) return;
//some other stuff here
//...
//implicit return
}
If you go the corporal punishment route, there is some good info here:

In place of void?
so like...
function someFunc():Number
{
//return a number
}
function someFunc():String
{
//return a string
}

Void was AS2 and wasn't really necessary.
void is AS3 and since it uses strong typing, very necessary. void will not
return anything. If you want back values (numeric) use Number (text) use
String, etc.

My first question.
What is the purpose of "void" versus "Void"? When do you use "void" and "Void" and when
is it not needed or wise to use "void" on a function? I may have asked this a few years ago, but can not find any of
the emails, so if its a duplicate I apologize.
